The antioxidants activity using DPPH and FRAP assay showed that NaOH extracts from three sample EBN had the lowest IC50 values and the highest reducing power. Thus, the results finding showed that the EBN samples extracts can be considered as cancer-preventive agents and are relatively safe to be consumed. Extracts of EBN samples can be considered asantioxidants agent. However, further validation have to be performed to understand the active compounds that poses safety, toxicity and antioxidants activity of EBN. 2018-01 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/45815/ http://eprints.usm.my/45815/1/Dr.%20Anish%20Ameera-24%20pages.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Sains Perubatan
